So the number of homepages about medicine or medical institute is increasing among homepages made in Korea, but the homepages are made by the specialist - homepage developer - not by medical personnel. Homepage specialists can promise the specialty, quality of the homepage itself, but medical personnels in the institute are better and ideal in the practical, economical aspect and in the content of information. Authors made homepage of Hallym medical center and its hospitals from September first, 1996 to December 31, 1996 only by their own work. The characteristics of this homepage are various structure and forms of 6 hospitals under the proper homogeneity, easy link or connectivity among 6 hospitals and central institute, and getting faster speed by proper restriction of large multimedia data considering present basal structure of internet. The targets of this homepage are medical personnels, students, patients, members of this institute and public. In the future foreigners are considered as targets. In conclusion, homepage of medical institute can be made somewhat effectively an d economically by its own medical personnels without the aid of homepage specialist and this first trial can be popular and participation of medical personnels to this work will be increased.
